Scale
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 3.4 oz pistachio instant pudding mix
- 1 package sugar cookie mix
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cookie bars evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, eggs, and pistachio pudding mix. Use an electric mixer to blend them together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Add Cookie Mix: Add the sugar cookie mix to the pudding mixture. Continue mixing until a sticky dough forms, ensuring all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 10 x 15-inch baking sheet to prevent sticking. Spread the dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, smoothing it out for uniform thickness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the top just starts to brown, indicating it is done.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookie bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into 12 bars and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing and a better texture.
- Use a greased baking sheet or line it with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- Do not overbake to keep the bars soft and chewy.
- These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top before baking.
